Van Siclen Avenue is an oddie of the J's island plaform stations. This is because its station house is below the middle of the platform, on the south/east side of the elevated line. The station is canopied for decent streach in the middle of the platform. Here there are two staircases down a mezzanine level that lead to a station house built to the south east side of the tracks. A fence keeps trespassers from walking across the Jamaica-bound platform and onto the roof Fare Control is here and that leads to two staircases down to street level on either side of Van Siclen Avenue. Like this entire streach of line, the station was renovated in 2006-07.
